What right has a man to say he has a soul if he does not feel it, or that there is a God if he does not see Him ? If there is a God we must see Him, if there is a soul we must perceive it; otherwise it is better not to believe. It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.

'There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.' - Gautama Buddha
“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.” - Dalai Lama XIV
“We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering. It then becomes both morally wrong and pragmatically unwise to pursue only one’s own happiness oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others who surround us as members of the same human family. The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.” - Dalai Lama XIV

"The anthropological consensus on the subject seems to be something like this: there are a (very small) number of hunter-gatherers alive on the planet today who do, or did until recently, display a number of characteristics that, from the vantage point of modern civilization, appear quite enviable. These include egalitarian sharing patterns; anti-authoritarian tendencies; respect for individuality combined with an emphasis on cooperation; flexible living arrangements; permissive child-rearing practices; and a system of “generalized” (as opposed to “balanced”) reciprocity. These societies have achieved a greater degree of equality of wealth, power, and prestige than any other societies we know of. They are based on immediate-return economies and the discouragement of accumulation. They do not create dependencies on specific persons, and their emphasis on sharing works against the development of agriculture because it undermines the possibility of savings and investment, which agriculture requires. Finally, in such societies individuals do not have power over one another. This material is not a matter of political theorizing or wishful romantic thinking, but is based on the ethnographic experience of many researchers, as well as on correlations of ethnographic data." --Morris Berman, Wandering God
